A Turkish entrepreneur has patented the Black Sea region’s crispy and yummy fried anchovies dish and is now preparing to commercialize it in Europe.

What was until now the trademark of the Black Sea is now his and Erhan Taş says he is certain that once introduced to European markets, these little fishies will bring a whole bunch of success and benefits.

“I have achieved my dream. It was my biggest goal to trademark fried anchovies and introduce it to Europe,” Taş assures, adding he did not withhold any cost to commercialize his new product.

Taş, who lives in Germany, has built a new facility in Weiterstadt for 400,000 euros.

“We are ready to respond to all of the needs in our new facility,” Taş said.
